## The `bigtest.ps1` Script
There's a test script that you can run if you want to install all scripts from the git repo. You
use it like this:
```shell
irm https://learncodethehardway.com/setup/base.ps1 -outfile base.ps1
powershell -executionpolicy bypass .\base.ps1
```
Then close your PowerShell to ensure you get the `winget` and `choco` installs. Then run the
`bigtest.ps1` script and be sure to stay near your computer to keep entering your password:
```shell
irm https://learncodethehardway.com/setup/bigtest.ps1 -outfile bigtest.ps1
powershell -executionpolicy bypass .\bigtest.ps1
```
After that you'll have every language I've figured out. Be sure to email
help@learncodethehardway.com and tell me if it worked or not for you.
